Bedroom

Tren and I have been in our house for a year and a half now and we have been slowly (or I guess I am the slow one) making our house a home. We finally have our bedroom done and we absolutely love it.

These are the before pictures and I think it totally looks like a bachelor pad! We had just barely got married a month or so before we bought the house - so we were still combining all of our things and figuring out what 'look' we both can live with. Needless to say, my interior design taste trumped his - hence there are no dead animal head's in my front room!

Nothing like a blank slate to start off with.... I wanted an intimate, but dramatic bed room. So I did a 'no no' and painted our already kinda small master bedroom a dark color on all 4 walls - but don't worry guys, I am a professional. The final look looks great! (at least to T and I it does)

Can I just say that I LOVE being married a man who knows how to do EVERYTHING! You will see just how much he did for this room to look exactly how I pictured!

Next it was time for a bed and can I tell you this was so stinkin hard to find a bed that fit the look I was going for and keep it in our price range. Gosh, it sucks to have expensive taste!

But needless to say, thank goodness for great friends like Ambree who came through for us and was able to get us an amazing deal on this great bed.

Tren wouldn't let me help with the bed cuz apparently I am 'too little' to help... so me and Roxy did a photo shoot while we impatiently waited.

Tuh-dah... our new bed!
What's a room without art??
Tren and I went to an art exhibit where we came out with 3 unique pieces of art and we didn't have a clue where we were going to put them. Turns out they work PERFECTLY in our room!

Next we needed more storage and I didn't want a typical dresser taking up space and making our room look cluttered and small. So, we got creative and found this, (I believe in the office section of all places) and mounted it on the wall where it helped make the room feel bigger and more spacious. Plus it looks fabulous!

Tren let me 'help' with this project. He let me put in the last screw! I know, I know... he couldn't have done it without me!

Ah geeze... next were the night stands. I don't think Tren knew what he was getting into when he married me. I am one picky woman when it comes to design! And heaven forbid that I settle!

I couldn't find ANY night stands that were remotely close to what I had pictured for our room. So, my AMAZING husband had be draw a picture, write out my dimmensions and he built them from scratch!

I definitely was not left out on this project...I painted them while he was at work!

Tuh-Dah... the final product (minus 2 large Euro pillows that I can't find anywhere for a decent price - so if you know, do please share with me!)

I gotta be honest, these pictures do not do the room justice... so come on over and see it in person! :)

Don't you think the nightstands turned out great!?! Once again, I gotta hand it to my amazing husband! Thanks for being patient with me baby!

Now how many people have a 'dresser' mounted on the wall - very few my friends, very few!

I love being unique!

Next we are finishing the bathroom in the basement and we just might be crazy enough to remodel the other two bathrooms on the main floor at the same time. Don't you worry though, there will be pictures on that big event!
